A New York City music venue will be helping to raise money for Levon Helm Studios.

A Tribute to Levon Helm is scheduled for Nov. 19 at Hill Country Barbecue (30 W. 26th St., New York), according to a release sent by the restaurant and music venue. The concert tentatively includes Catherine Popper, Suzanna Choffel, Bug and Bru from the Defibulators, and Fredro Perry with the Cheating Hearts. More names and surprise guests, according to the venue, are scheduled to appear.

The concert's aim is to raise money for Helm's studio in Woodstock. Earlier in October, musicians including Roger Waters, John Mayer and My Morning Jacket assembled at the Izod Center for "Love For Levon," a concert organized by Larry Campbell, Don Was and Keith Wortman to also help pay for the studio.
